Ow! Great to see you post this exciting first chapter of a completely new and different SW era, Jules! Already commented in more detail at Yakface, but I'll repeat here that I like this a lot.

After rereading it, I would like to add that despite the lack of the obvious SW references, this does feel like SW. I am very anxious to see if the Force is still around after all that time (side note: thousands of millennia is a tad long... ), or lightsabers for that matter....

LOL, yes, I did read about Jez being different and quickly made a 1+1=2, but since this takes place in such a distant future, I wouldn't be surprised if the Force as we know it, evolved into something else entirely. I will eagerly wait and see, Jules!
